Desk Chickens

I did not mean to have office chickens again, but here we are. We’ve been wanting to add to the flock, but the plan was to wait until the spring. But then I went to Rural King for a bee suit (I stress bought bees. It’s a story) and there were those little cheeps, and there was Evelyn saying “PLEASSSSSSEEEE” and well, we got more chickens.

This is Elizabeth Hennet. I may or may not have been partially persuaded to get more chickens because I’ve been dying to name one Elizabeth Hennet. There are 5 others, and I’m letting Evelyn name them all because one of the joys of little kids is seeing what they come up with for pet names. So far Midnight Applesauce is my favorite.

Being so overwhelmingly busy, we have not gotten the chicken coop of my dreams built yet, so I ordered another Omlet coop to get us by until next summer. I’m hoping to add some Silkie Bantams to the flock, but from a reputable hatchery instead of an RK impulse buy.
